Sat 23rd April: There are always puppies you can meet

 Some puppies come at just the right time, and for the five "E" litter it seems that two of them are going to be very lucky.  Elodie, the fluffy girl, and Edie are due to be going to a home together on Monday, so for now we'll be holding them back.  The other three are available to meet at our small Red Dog Centre at 21 Ap Lei Chau Main Street, and if not adopted before next weekend they will be moving to Kennedy Town as some of the first residents.   

Beth (l) and Leo are staying at WNP

Sunday is Whiskers N Paws day, and there are now two store residents after Leo was dropped off in the afternoon to join Beth, who's been there for a few days now.  If not adopted this weekend, you can meet them any day of the week during store opening hours, and if they are lucky enough to find homes then they will be replaced by another two.  If you're planning on going to meet the puppies on Sunday, please be sure to complete the adoption questionnaire in advance at https://hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/

While we wait (somewhat impatiently) for the small Homing Centre in Kennedy Town to open, which will hopefully be in the coming week, we had to send shiba inu Akio to Tai Po.  The Red Dog Centre is very small and we had to use the remaining space for the five "E" puppies, so there was absolutely nowhere for a shiba as well.  His photo and details were posted on our Hong Kong Dog Rescue (HKDR)  Facebook page, and I was immedaitely inundated with adoption enquiries, most of which weren't suitable for this particular breed.   I really hope that one of the potential adopters who were invited to meet Akio will be able to take him home, because the longer they have to wait, the harder it becomes to find such homes.  As a reminder (and yes I know I have repeated this many times) we still have Donny and Damson staying on Lamma, and Goji in a foster home, and they're also young adults.  Maybe this will be the time when we find them a home too.  I don't really need to share photos of the other shibas as they all look exactly the same! 

Toffee, with Candy behind

Sweet little dog Toffee was adopted from Tai Po today, another small girl who would normally have been staying at the Kennedy Town Homing Centre.  Hopefully the other dog that came with Toffee will also find a home this weekend, and her name is Candy.

Doberman pinscher Adrienne also left Tai Po today, and although not a confirmed adoption it's lovely that she has a place to stay where she can continue on her healing journey.  When she came to us she was very thin and not at all well, but while at first we were concerned that she had something seriously wrong with her it was a simple case of malnutrition and neglect.  Since arriving at Tai Po Adrienne gained weight and built up her muscles, and now she's looking good and enjoying life.
